Im hoping before end of year. Its on the current export permit application.

Had a quick blat with Stumpy's AR this morning.

The Giselle trigger is VERY nice. Most semis I've shot have had "military" triggers, this is a completely different animal.

Very cool bit of kit, I can see why the NEAs are so popular.

Ignoring the licensing side of the question, modern sliding AR stocks have less wobble than the old school ones-and some even have none, I have a magpul stock that I can't make move at all that was designed for dmr 308 ar's

Like most things shooting related you get what you pay for, a stock made not to wobble that uses a dedicated buffer tube costs more to make and buy than stuff mass produced to work with every other mass produced component.

I have VLTOR, Magpul and generic M4 stocks and they all wobble. The VLTOR is the tightest and the M4 flat out rattles.

This is the stock I'm talking about, as you can see it's not your std Magpul stock,honestly I can't get any wobble out of it. It's heavy tho but not as heavy as the prs it replaced

That is a pretty neat stock. Haven't seen them for sale anywhere before.

Can you put an extra check piece on them?

There are two heights of factory pieces available

I just put a couple of strips of insulation tape on my receiver extension under the stock, it took up the slack and there's no rattle (magpul CTR and/or old school CAR15 stock)

I'll have to try that on my car15 stocks, so simple

Are you considering adding something like Q-card as a payment option, really handy for me could buy the rifle this week and have 3 months to pay interest free!

Looking into it.
